Otis came to us as a stray from a Central Valley shelter. We estimate he’s about 4 years old, with a gorgeous apricot coat and a petite little frame under 15 pounds.
He was treated for a respiratory infection and is now feeling great. He’s scheduled for his neuter on Monday, March 9. Otis is friendly with everyone he meets and gets along beautifully with other dogs. He responds well to training and gentle correction and is eager to please.
He’s a funny, curious guy. When he discovered the dog door, he decided it was the best new game and happily bounced through it again and again. He loves hanging out with his foster siblings, testing out every dog bed in the house, and staying close, usually with at least one paw touching you. He enjoys exploring the backyard, going on walks, and chewing his favorite toys.
He’s crate trained and currently working on his marking, which should improve after his neuter. Otis is such a sweet, happy little companion and will make a wonderful addition to the right home. We'll be running labwork on him in addition to a heartworm test, and he will be fully vaccinated and microchipped as well. He seems to have an old eye injury that does not impair his vision, and our vet will confirm that during his neuter!
